Data Privacy Statement

Data Privacy Statement

We take the protection of your data seriously and make every effort to collect and store as little data as possible. Nevertheless, a certain degree of storage and evaluation of user data is necessary in order to guarantee and improve the operation of this website. The use of this website is basically possible without having to provide any personal data. Also an allocation of data to a certain person does not take place – unless you tell us your name, for example in an email, via one of our forms or in the context of an order.
If you use any of the services offered on this website or if this regularly requires the collection, processing and storage of personal data, such as your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number. This collection, processing and storage takes place in principle either on the basis of your explicit consent obtained beforehand or on the basis of a corresponding legal authorisation and on the basis of the provisions of the European Basic Data Protection Regulation and the German Federal Data Protection Act.
We would like to inform you here about the type, scope and purpose of the data collected, processed, stored and used by us via this website as well as about your rights existing in this context.
We use SSL transport encryption on this site. This serves, among other things, to protect confidential content, for example when we receive enquiries. You can see that the connection is actually encrypted in the address line of your browser, which always begins with “https://” and confirms the existing Trasport encryption with a green lock symbol.

A data subject who has obtained a restriction on processing shall be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

The data subject shall have the right to object to the processing of his personal data concerning him for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the basic Regulation on data protection, on grounds relating to his particular situation, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest.
